Steering wheel squeak

Hey guys I have a 2007 328xi and when I'm driving in the rain the steering wheel squeaks when I turn it to the left, does anyone know why I have this problem?

I had a squeak from my steering rack. Dealer lubricated it and it's fine now. The squeak happened every time I turned to the right I think...can't remember if it was left.

theres a thread on this somewhere, but from what i recall, the fixes were:
1) re-adjust your steering wheel's position, that may temporarily get rid of the sound
2) there was some boot to replace, that wasnt expensive
